Impact100 Nashville Happy Hour

Impact100 Nashville, an organization that empowers women to make transformative changes in their community, announces its Spring Forward new member recruitment happy hour on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. sponsored by the Honorable Megan Barry in the Belmont/Hillsboro neighborhood. Members and guests will learn about the organization and hear from a recent grant recipient, Tennessee Kids Belong, a nonprofit that equips the community to dramatically change the experience and outcomes for children in foster care. The goal of Spring Forward is to recruit 100 new members in the women’s giving circle to make an even greater impact in the community through its annual grant program.

Each Impact100 Nashville member contribute $1,000 annually and has one vote to select deserving nonprofits in the community to be awarded a grant. In 2021, the organization awarded $204,000 in grants to Mending Hearts, Inc. and Tennessee Kids Belong. Almost 60 nonprofits participated in a competitive grants review process that included written proposals assessed by Impact100 members, site visits, and presentations.

“We invite all women in Middle Tennessee who want to be more intentional about their
charitable giving to join us on March 23rd,” says Ginger Duncan, president, board of directors, Impact100 Nashville. “Collective giving circles are a way to make a greater impact in the community by supporting nonprofits that seek to end the cycle of debilitating conditions such as homelessness, hunger and poverty.”

Impact100 Nashville has awarded $571,000 to worthy causes in the community since its
inception in 2014 and is one of more than 60 chapters in cities across the United States.

There is no cost to attend Spring Forward but registration is required for all members and guests on Eventbrite. Each guest is encouraged to bring at least one guest to attend. Learn more about Impact100 Nashville at https://nashville.impact100council.org/.
